Emotional Damages from a Car Wreck? Yep, that’s a thing.
Many times an accident is just an accident. You get banged up a little and you move on. But sometimes it’s just not so simple.
If you have emotional trauma following an auto accident in North Carolina, you’re not alone. PTSD and associated conditions are legitimate injuries sustained as the result of some automobile accidents and you can seek compensation for these sorts of damages.
This kind of claim is referred to as a negligent infliction of emotional distress claim. Sounds complicated, but it’s not. If you have suffered this sort of trauma, the main thing you should know about NC law in this context is that in order to make a successful claim, you HAVE to get a diagnosis from a health care provider. You can’t just say your feelings were hurt. You have to get a diagnosis. And this is for the best, right? With a diagnosis from a provider, you can also get treatment recommendations, and in the end, getting better is the most important thing, regardless of the claims process.
